Saint Augustine’s sweeps CIAA cross country titles

CARY, North Carolina  -- Saint Augustine’s University swept the CIAA men’s and women’s cross country titles for the second consecutive year at WakeMed Soccer Park on Thursday.

The Falcons and Lady Falcons have combined to win over 150 cross country and track and field conference crowns under coach George Williams.

“Our student-athletes and (assistant coach) Sandy Chapman did a great job of bringing home both championships,” Williams said. “Chapman, being a premier cross country coach, made it happen.”
